【分析】
这类首字母填空题的解题思路可以按三步走：第一步先通读全文，把握文章核心主旨——本文围绕作者通过曾祖母的日记、实地探访、阅读史料三个维度，重新认识苏州新旧交融的城市风貌，理清全文的时间线（过去的苏州、去年的探访、近期的阅读、最终的感悟）。第二步逐空分析：先判断空格所需的词性，再结合上下文语义和给出的首字母匹配对应单词，同时要注意时态、比较级、单复数等形式变化规则。第三步填完全部单词后通读全文，验证逻辑是否通顺、语法是否正确。比如遇到带than的句子要优先考虑比较级，遇到过去的时间状语要考虑动词用过去式，遇到情态动词要注意后面接动词原形，就能快速锁定正确答案。
【解析】
1. 句意：当我打开曾祖母的日记时，她的文字描绘出了一个完全不同的世界。日记的内容由文字构成，首字母为w，用word的复数形式words表泛指，符合语境。
2. 句意：在20世纪50年代的苏州，人们沿着两旁排布茶馆的窄街骑自行车出行。时间定位在1950s，要用一般过去时，首字母为t，travel表示“出行、游历”，其过去式travelled符合语义。
3. 句意：空气闻起来比现在更清新，他们所知道的唯一“屏幕”是丝绸刺绣框架。句中出现than提示要用比较级，首字母为f，fresh的比较级fresher表示“更清新的”，符合语境。
4. 句意：去年夏天，我坐火车去探访她的家乡。时间状语last summer提示用一般过去时，take a train是固定搭配“乘坐火车”，take的过去式took符合要求。
5. 句意：现代化的摩天大楼如今矗立在古老的运河旁。描述当下的客观状态用一般现在时，主语skyscrapers是复数，首字母为s，stand表示“矗立”，符合用法。
6. 句意：传统市场已经消失了，但五颜六色的广告牌点亮了夜晚。前后两个分句是转折逻辑，首字母为b，填转折连词but。
7. 句意：进步是好的，但我们也必须保护我们的文化。情态动词must后接动词原形，首字母为p，protect表示“保护”，契合语境。
8. 句意：为了深入了解，我最近在图书馆读了一些历史书籍。空格需要副词修饰整个句子，首字母为r，recently表示“最近”，符合动作的时间属性。
9. 句意：其中一本书描述了苏州的艺术家如何创造性地将传统工艺和新技术相融合。前文提到读了多本历史书，one后接可数名词单数，首字母为b，填book。
10. 句意：慢慢地，我开始从两个角度看待这座城市：飞速发展的大都会和充满诗意的水乡。描述过去发生的动作，用一般过去时，begin to do sth是固定搭配“开始做某事”，begin的过去式began符合要求。
【答案】
1. words 2. travelled 3. fresher 4. took 5. stand 6. but 7. protect 8. recently 9. book 10. began
【知识点】
首字母填空，动词时态，形容词比较级
【点评】
本题属于记叙文类首字母填空，选取贴近学生生活的本土城市文化场景，既考查学生对上下文语义的逻辑梳理能力，也覆盖了初中阶段核心的时态、比较级、固定搭配等基础语法考点，难度梯度设置合理。解题时要避免孤立看单个句子选词，一定要结合全文的时间线判断单词的正确形式，很多同学容易因为忽略时态、比较级的形式变化出现不必要的丢分。
